There's an engine at the station and the whistle calls my name It's callin' callin' callin', come and get aboard the train My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile I'll be knockin' out the blues while I'm knockin' out the miles With my guitar, beat and rhythm, to the click-clack of the wheels I'm gonna sing the blues 'cause that's the way that I feel I'm gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train Conductor, go and tell the man, to shovel on the coal It doesn't seem half as bad as long as I can roll Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you There's nothing left to live for in this world we're rollin' through Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
